Success is Faithfulness
Commentators stress that the prophet's success is defined by obedience to God, not by the people's response. Ezekiel's duty was to deliver the message faithfully, whether the 'rebellious house' chose to hear or not. This serves as a reminder that a Christian's responsibility is faithfulness, leaving the results to God.
